I've always hated #motorcycles because they are a perfect example of one having fun at the cost of many not having fun (they are loud as fuck).
But I recently learned that - despite what I thought - they are not very fuel efficient. High power motorcycles can burn as much fuel as a medium sized car does, while transporting a one or maybe two people.
Now I hate them even more.

•I'm sorry that you have that opinion about motorcycles. Please allow me to give some sort of explanation...
I've ridden #motorcycles all my life, and they aren't loud because I haven't altered any exhaust system, which might even be illegal in some cases. Please don't hate the object, hate the stupid rider!
Regarding the second part of your toot, you're comparing different things.
Motorcycles are more fuel efficient than cars. A high power motorcycle consumes much less than a high power car (you have to compare things that have similar characteristics). And any mid range motorcycle will be much more fuel efficient than a mid range car, let alone smaller motorcycles...
Besides, they consume much less resources to be produced, require much less space to park and ride, their maintenance is a lot cheaper... show more

Besides, they consume much less resources to be produced, require much less space to park and ride, their maintenance is a lot cheaper, and they can take two people (or even 3, with a sidecar), which is the same that most cars take.
So, as you can see, perhaps there might be several things to like and appreciate about motorcycles! They are a great means of transportation and they are fun to ride too! And they are much more eco-friendly than cars! 😉

•To further amend, I love unaltered quiet motorcycles that replace a car for commuting or making money (eg. delivery).
But even when riding a quiet bike for fun, I believe it is questionable to have a hobby based on burning fossil fuel in 2023.
Maybe most motorcyclists-for-fun never fly, are vegetarians, don't own a car and have solar panels on their roof and then it's all offset and fine ;) I love those people, not hate!

•I agree with you. I ride my motorcycle to go work and as I would drive a car. And I have fun riding it. It's something I can't feel inside a car. 🙂 Only riders can understand this! 🤣😉
